Texas Finds Real Rapist After Wrongly Convicting an Innocent Man
From dallasnew.com: A man found
to be the actual perpetrator in a 1994 rape and murder after DNA
cleared another man is alive and serving prison time for aggravated
sexual assault of a child and aggravated kidnapping. On
Tuesday prosecutors mistakenly said that the perpetrator in the slaying
and sexual assault of 14-year-old Nary Na had died. They discovered
their error Wednesday. Entre Nax
Karage, now 38, was originally convicted for the crime and sentenced to
life in prison in 1997. But DNA test results subsequently cleared him,
and he was ordered released from prison in 2004. Keith
Jordan is now charged with capital murder and aggravated sexual assault
of a child in the case. Court records show that DNA taken from evidence
left on the victim matches Mr. Jordan. His cases are pending in a
Dallas County court. Rest of Article. . . [Mark Godsey]
